No -- the one up thread is the original -- came out a couple years ago -- sells for about $100+ on eBay.   The newer version looks like a re-cast knock-off re-paint attempt

Here's another custom (I think) job from the Statue Forum, and I like this look much better than the red chrome.  The head is still messed up and needs to be redone, though.

I always thought the outer suit was just cloth, but this is a comic book, so I guess there could have been some metal in there.

Trust me. The "red chrome" is perfect.

They both fall into the "Other Toys" category, just in different ways.

I had to look up and check! Then I had to recover from five minutes of
laughter.

I said much the same thing to a friend of mine named Alan when his wife was using his car.  It had a personalized license plate reading  A TOY 4 AL.

Looking at the ALPHA sequence, above -- here it is with true blacks.
Perhaps this gives a better idea of why I like the "red chrome" look.
